Public Relations

"There's no such thing as bad press".  Well, we're not sure we subscribe to that view, but we also do not underestimate the power and importance of a good PR campaign.

The key thing about a good PR campaign is to be working with an agency who understand the sector in which you operate.  It's no good phoning up your PR agency and telling them you need to issue a press release about the report that David Clementi was writing only to be asked "Which area of the firm does he work in?".

This service is designed to help our clients maintain an active programme of pro-active PR.

This service is based on geographic exclusivity dependent on the population density, local newspaper coverage etc.

This service is based on our knowledge of the legal sector and leveraging our existing news services to create press releases that will be syndicated to you. The press releases will be timely and topical, for example in December we will be issuing a release on the new Civil Partnership Act that comes in effect on 5 December.

The press releases will be supplied in Microsoft Word format and will be ready for you to simply “fill in the blanks”, and either print and send or email to your press list.

There are two levels of service in two different areas i.e. Private Client and Commercial Client.

The table below details the different services we can offer, with the exact details of the Gold service being tailored to suit your requirements.
